ROTARY SOLE-EDGE SETTER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of LettersjPatent N 0. 699,436, dated May 6,1902. Application filodIebrunry 23. 1901. Serial No. 48,482. (No model.)

To all whont it may concern.-

Be it known that I, HAROLD A. WEBSTER, of Havel-hill, in the county ofEssex and State of Massachusetts, have invented certain new and usefulImprovements in Rotary Sole-Edge Setters, of which the following is aspecification.

This invention relates to an edge-setter for setting the edges of bootand shoe soles; and it consists in the novel features of constructionand relative arrangement of partshereinafterfullydescribedinspecification,clearly illustrated in thedrawings, and particularly pointed out in the claims.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part ofthis application, in which like characters indicate like parts whereverthey occur.

Figure 1 shows a top plan view of an edgesetter constructed inaccordance with my invention. Fig. 2 is a vertical sectional view on theline 2 2 of Fig. 1.

I have not shown any means for rotating the edge-setter nor for securingit in place upon a shaft, nor have I shown a shield, such features notforming any part of this application and being well known in the art.

1) represents a driving member adapted to be supported upon and drivenby a shaft in the usual way.

r represents rolls that are tapered or conical, the base of each rollresting upon a seat r of the driving member that is inclined to the axisof the latter. The rolls r are held in place by pins 0". The inclinationof the seats r is such that the surfaces of rolls '1" will be arrangedin substantial parallelism with their outer ends in an axial planedifferent from that of their inner ends that rest upon the seats N. Ifdesired, the rolls may be slightly concaved, as shown at W. would leavea slight opening between the faces of two contiguous rolls. By thisconstruction I am enabled to work upon or fashion inclined edges, suchas shanks, &c.

I claim- 1. An edge -setter comprising a driving member and series oftaper rolls secured to said driving member with their outer ends in anaxial plane different from that of their inner ends.

2. As a new article of manufacture,an edgesetting member comprising atapered or conical roll.

In testimony whereof I have affixed my signature in presence of twowitnesses.
